Frozen Gummy Bears
Frozen Gummy Bears are one of the latest delicious trends to come out of TikTok. Sprite and Gummy Bears are a match made in TikTok, what can I say?
This viral recipe gives you gummy bears that taste and feel like a slushie, frozen sweet deliciousness.
If you're a fan of candy, you must try this homemade nougat gummy candy, which will remind you of the Brach's classic nougat squares. Or try slow cooker Christmas candy or Graham Cracker Bark or White Chocolate Peppermint Saltine Bark.
Ingredients
- 8 ounces Haribo Gummy Bears (two bags)
- 16.9 ounce bottle of Sprite
See recipe card for instructions.
How to Make Viral Frozen Gummy Bears
Put gummy bears in a medium glass mixing bowl.
Pour a bottle or can of lemon lime soda over the candy.
Cover bowl with plastic wrap and put in the fridge for 8 hours
Line a 9x13 cake pan or a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
Using rubber gloves or a slotted spoon, gently scoop the gummy bears out and lightly shake them over the bowl to eliminate excess liquid.
Place the bears on the prepared pan and line them up so they have a teensy bit of space in between each one. You don't want them touching.
Place pan in the freezer for 3 hours or until gummies are frozen through.
Enjoy.
Recipe Notes
- The gummy bears may slide when picking them up and transferring them to the freezer so be sure to use a rimmed baking sheet if not using a cake pan.
- Rubber gloves are the easiest and quickest way to get the soaked gummy bears out of the bowl and onto the baking sheet. You can use a slotted spoon but it's a bit slower to use this method and the bears are prone to breaking.
- It’s important to use the regular gummy bears as they are more resilient to the soaking and freezing. Other types of gummy bears such as sour, etc. didn’t turn out well. Haribo is the best brand to use because their bears have a harder, firmer texture.
Storage/Make Ahead Instructions
Keep Sprite gummies in the freezer, in a covered, airtight container for up to 1 week.
Be careful to not let them melt much outside the freezer before putting them up or they will freeze together.
